It is the parish church of Magras, a hamlet of Malé, and the first place of worship was dedicated to Saint Giles: the fourteenth-century fresco fragments still visible on the outer walls say so. It appears for the first time in a will of 1464, drawn up in the fortress of Samoclevo, under the name of San Zili de Magrasio: Zili is Egidio in the language of the valley, and it is the kind of detail that tells who was speaking, not only who was writing.
It was consecrated in 1482 and rebuilt by the end of the century under the direction of master Adamo da Laino d'Intelvi. The double dedication to Saints Mark and Giles appears in a document of 1532; over time only Saint Mark has remained.
